Electronic Lecture Slides for Computer Systems Design And Architecture To the instructor who uses these slides in PowerPoint 4 for Windows format: Please note that because of the limitations of PowerPoint, some of the slides are "unstable." 1. Various embellishments such as overbars are not available to PowerPoint users, and in some cases the overbars had to be added by inserting graphic lines above the text characters. If such text is moved in any way, the overbar will no longer be aligned with the character. This is also true of slides containing arrows pointing to text objects. Since PowerPoint does not allow grouping of text and graphics, any change to the text may result in arrows pointing in disappointing places. (!?) 2. The graphics were imported from Adobe Illustrator as eps files. PowerPoint rasterizes these graphics, and as a result they may appear blocky and aliased. Text within the graphics may have a rough appearance. We have found no way around this problem, but please note that they will print OK from PowerPoint, and the Adobe Acrobat .pdf files created from these files using the Acrobat Distiller have a much more pleasing appearance. Please consider using the Acrobat format of these slides. They are much smaller, display and print much faster, and have a much more pleasing appearance. You can download the free Adobe Acrobat Reader from www.adobe.com. Platforms supported include the Macintosh and various flavors of Windows and UNIX. Slides in Acrobat format can be printed for distribution to students using the Adobe Acrobat Reader.
